I took these pictures on a day out a fortnight ago. The bird was called Rodney.

Wet and Windy.
June 18th, 2008 — Uncategorised
A bit wet today. Still managed to get something done. It’s also not doing my beans any good, this wind that is.
Gardeners World Live 2008
June 16th, 2008 — Uncategorised
Here we go again with the Gardener’s World Live. This year again at the NEC.
Last year I missed some of the show gardens as I spent too long inside with all the equipment, which I didn’t really want. I also saw Alan Titchmarsh on the stage, when I didn’t really want to. This year I by-passed all that and went straight to the show gardens and saw them all. I was also able to spend longer in the RHS tent getting very jealous of what they had grown in there. I know they have green/hot houses, but I still wish I had something resembling a glass-based building in which to bring on my seedlings and cuttings.
I wont bore you with the names of everything – you can see some of them on the pictures – just enjoy as much as I did.

Iris.

My iris has finally come out. I put this in two years ago, but it has only just felt the desire to flower.
Well worth the wait I thought.
Hanging Baskets.
June 1st, 2008 — Uncategorised
Yesterday I decided I wanted to sort out my hanging baskets. It is getting late for some people, a neighbour has had theirs out for three weeks now! Still, they bought theirs and I am making mine up myself.
The videos that follow are a step by step guide to doing your own hanging baskets. I don’t profess to be the best hanging basket maker in the country, but I do my best.
I shall be bringing you pictures of them as they grow and bloom; so hopefully I will have something great to show you.
